Glee Is Returning To Streaming This June After Netflix Removal
Glee is returning to streaming services this June following the series' removal from Netflix. Six months ago, Netflix removed the musical comedy-drama from its streaming platform, which prompted fans of the series, known as Gleeks, to take to social media to share their sadness and beg for the show to stay online. The reasons for Netflix's removal of Glee likely have to do with licensing agreements.
Glee ran for a total of six seasons from 2009 to 2015, consisting of 121 episodes and over 729 musical performances. Centered on the New Directions glee club at William McKinley High School, the series touched on numerous social issues the club's members faced, including sexuality, teen relationships, race, and family. During its run, Glee would go on to be nominated for and win many accolades, including 19 Emmy Awards, four Golden Globes, and 57 other awards. The series has also spawned a devoted fan base, some of whom regularly take to YouTube to recreate musical numbers from the show. Now, it seems these same fans will once again be able to stream their favorite series.

The June 1 date holds another significance as it marks the launch of LGBTQIA+ Pride Month celebrations, which is fitting for a show that has dealt with many issues on sexuality and gender.
